SIERRA LEONE

Philip Anderson Samura is passionate about promoting a peaceful society, and I am a second-year student at the African Leadership University (ALU) Rwanda. I am an avid writer, researcher, advocate, public speaker, and debater. I have been actively engaged in students leadership to promote a peaceful atmosphere for students to actualize their full potential. I served as the secretary-general for the Albert Academy Anti-violence Club in high school, where we trained about 500 pupils on violence prevention and intervention. At Fourah Bay College, I served as the Public Relations Officer for the Academic Ambassadors for Peace and Sustainable Development. We raised massive awareness of the importance of peace and organized a peace march on the International Day of Peace on September 21, 2020, for over 1000 young people. I am serving as the Advocacy Coordinator for the Anti-bullying Initiative. I collaborated with a team of eight and established the Anti-bullying School Clubs in 50 schools within Freetown, Sierra Leone, to train pupils on bullying prevention, reporting and response. We organized the first Anti-bullying symposium for over 100 pupils to raise awareness of the effects of bullying. Also, I am a climate change enthusiast. I am serving as the secretary-general for the Fellows of Conservation Club at ALU, a student-led club that aims to bring young people passionate about conservation to take conscious actions to enhance environmental protection. We have sensitized over 300 young people on the impacts of climate change and the need to take action. In 2019, Global Peace Chain recognized me as a Global Peace Ambassador. Sierra Leone’s Ministry of Youth Affairs recognized me as a “Next Generation Youth Ambassador.” In 2021, I attended the Young African Leaders Summit in Ghana. Also, ALU awarded me for excellent student leadership.
